January 28, 2007, 4 nights on the WONDER

[Florida beach mom]

We will take 2 adult bands. How about just printing WONDER on it? Or WONDER 01.28.07?

PS. Edited to add that I am right now Tivo'ing the Travel Channel's show all about the DCL! I haven't seen it before except for about 10 minutes, and I am so excited that DH and I will get to see it before we sail! If you have the Travel channel, look for it to be on today or tonight!

I vote for "Wonder" and the cruise date on the bands. Doesn't matter to me what format the date is in.

I saw that Disney Cruise Line show on the Travel Channel in December. As a first timer, it was a nice way to get a look at the ship and an overview of what to expect.

Shauna, the wristbands sound good to us. We would need 2 adult.

Thanks! Lin

Shauna, Being I'm the one who actually suggested the wristbands, I will also order two adult bands and one child. I'm doing this for my friend who will be joining you on the cruise. I want her and her family to have as much fun as I did on my first sailing.
We had our DIS meet at 3:00 in the Promenade Lounge. Plenty of time to get resi's done, have lunch, drop stuff off at room, and time to spare before sailaway party. If you miss the meet and greet in the terminal, this gives you another chance to meet each other and put a face the the screen name. I think we all had more fun looking for our green wrist bands in the terminal. We not only got to introduce ourselves to each other, but we also met non dis'rs when they asked about all the green bands. What a conversation starter!
I so wish I was going! I really enjoy the DIS boards and remembering all the fun people we met, I can't wait for my next cruise!
Don't forget to do you doc dances to let everyone know when you get your documents in. The anticipation is half the fun, and cheering for others is great, too!

Okay, so I think the wristbands are a go. Here's who I have sailing and have listed wristbands if you want them. Please let me know if anything is incorrect...

stampinshauna & Castaway Kev--2 adult wristbands
classicdisney--2 adult
binks
TadyBug
jzimmerman9--2 adult 2 child
KS Prairie gal
logabbmom
Aunt Jo
GirlieGirl
dalemm
luvcruisn
Frankiesmom
Florida beach mom--2 adult
lweigard--2 adult 2 child
kty--2 adult 3 child
gortman65--3 adult
DisneyDuo--2 adult
(ArmandXG for friend)--2 adults 1 child

So far that is 18 and we need 20 for the price break but I'm sure we'll be fine. They will be $1.85 each. What is easier for everyone--paypal and I can leave in the slot by your stateroom or meet up? Paypal would add a little to the cost because I'd have to include the paypal fee. A check would be fine or we can just meet up and exchange wristbands & the money.

 

[stampinshauna]

Also, does everyone like

WONDER 01.28.07

It works for me. Do you want it to say Disney?

DISNEY WONDER 01.28.07

 

[gortman65]

DISNEY WONDER 01.28.07 looks good to me. As for the wristband payment, I can do whatever is easiest for you. If I send you money now with PayPal, that's one less thing for me to remember once we're there and I won't have to worry about having the right amount of cash to give you.

 

[jzimmerman9]

We would need 4, 2 adult and 2 childrens. Also have baby, but I doubt she would keep hers on. DD11 and DD8 are looking forward to meeting some of the kids from this board so they can make some new friends!! I could also paypal the money.

Shauna-

we are in - last years cruise was fun, but we really didnt meet many people (those at our table were boring and did not talk much)

so, let do 2 adults and 3 kids.I dont know if the younger ones will wear them, as they will have kids club bracelets as well, but should get them just in case

my hubby will wonder what the heck i got him in to -

i can send paypal as well, just get me your info.

oh, maybe we could meet outside by the kids pool at the adult beverage station (o.k. bar) beside pinochios pizzaria (the middle pool, not the mickey pool). if it is a nice day my kids will be outside in the pool/hot tubs anyway -
Katie

 

[DisneyDuo]

Shauna, whatever you decide is fine with us. Looking forward to meeting fellow Disers!

Blessings - Lin

 

[stampinshauna]

I've updated the list with kty & jzimmerman9's wristbands. Hopefully I'll hear back from a few more and can order in the next day or so.

 

[lweigard]

I like DISNEY WONDER 01.28.07, also. I don't mind paying a little extra for Paypal, that way I don't have to remember it at the terminal. (Plus you're not put out in advance). I like the idea of having them at the terminal, that way we can be on the look out for them. Is there a way to leave them at check-in? But then, I'll be checking in at the resort (not sure if I have to do both).

If it's easier, let's just meet by the pool - I like kty's idea of meeting by the pool (bar ) at 3pm.

 

[ArmandXG]

Shauna, I'll send money (money order) as soon as you want it. I'll enclose extra for shipping. I need to give to friends before they leave. If bands don't come in on time, I'll get their room # and you can just give it to them as a souvineer.

 

[gortman65]

jzimmerman9, how old is your baby? Do you have any Flounder's Reef time reserved? Our daughter will be 10 months old on the cruise so it's good to know she won't be the only DIS baby!

 

[logabbmom]

Hi All -

Shauna put me down for one adult and two children - don't see the hubby wearing one since he thinks I already am insane for being on this board so much

Also payment - whatever you prefer is fine with me - check, paypal or cash. Just post back what you prefer and thanks for organizing the wristbands!

 

[KS Prarie gal]

Shauna,

We will take 4 adult wristbands and one child if you haven't already ordered. Think it will especially be fun for my DDs to look for people. Just PM with payment info and will get it to you. We are really getting excited. Our weather forcast for the next week is lows of 2 and highs of 18 with snow, sleet, rain mix. 70 degrees sounds like heaven!

 

[stampinshauna]

Our weather forcast for the next week is lows of 2 and highs of 18 with snow, sleet, rain mix. 70 degrees sounds like heaven!

I completely agree. This weekend our lows are supposed to be between -3 and 5 degrees and highs around 10-13 degrees. I'm definately looking forward to some warmer weather.

I wish passing wristbands out in the terminal would work better, but we're using the Disney transfers from the Wilderness Lodge and so I don't think we'll get there until 1:30 or so and I'm sure some of you would already be on the ship by then. If anyone who is going to the port earlier in the morning wants to meet up on Saturday in the MK or at the Wilderness Lodge, I can send wristbands with you.

I'll figure out exactly what the paypal amount will be and will post on here later on today or tomorrow.

[gortman65]

Shauna,

We will be doing the land/sea package too, staying at CBR. Once our schedule at WDW firms up, I will let you know if meeting you that Saturday will work for wristband pickup.

 

[stampinshauna]

Okay, I checked with Wristbandsnow.com and if I order today they should arrive by the 22nd. I will wait a few more hours to see if anyone else wants them and then I will order. Does anyone want any extras to give away to fellow shipmates? I think I'll order a couple extras in case we need them.

Does it work for you all if we use paypal? I figured if we say $2 per wristband plus $0.25 cents per order my costs will be covered. You can pay with a checking account or a credit/debit card. So, if you want 2 wristbands it would be $4.25 and 4 wristbands would be $8.25, etc. If you don't use paypal and want to send a money order or check, pm me for my address and then it is $1.85 per wristband.

As soon as the wristbands come I will notify you and you can decide if you want them dropped off at your stateroom or if you want to find me at a meet or in the terminal. If they come fast enough, I could even mail them. If you want yours mailed, please wait to pay me until the order comes so we can make sure there is enough time to mail them and then you can include $ to cover the postage. I will be in the MK on the Saturday the 27th and will be at the WL that night. If anyone is going to go to the port earlier than me and wants to take the wristbands, you could meet me and get them. Let's just get them ordered and have them arrive and then we'll figure it out.
